brake dive... weight limits of bike

[MIKE NICKNAME WEASEL]

FIRST I'D LIKE TO SEND MY THANKS TO THE REV WHO INFORMED ME OF THE SITE. I'M OVER HERE IN JERSEY WITH NO DUAL SPORT RIDERS ANYWHERE AROUND AND I'M LOOKING FOR HIGHWAY BUDDIES TO CONNECT WITH (NY OR NJ). ALSO I'M LOOKING TO TURN MY KLR650 INTO A TOUR STYLE BIKE..IF U GUYS HAVE ANY IDEAS ABOUT HOOKING UP MY BIKE PLEASE SHARE THEM. I'M REALLY INTERESTED IN ADDING SOME ADDITIONAL SPOT LIGHTS ON THE BIKE. I HAD A YAMAHAXT600 (GARBAGE) AND ALSO A XR650 OK BUT NOTHING LIKE THE THUMPER KLR. ALL U RIDERS KNOW THE FEELING U GET ON THE SWAMP THING. I GOT TO TELL YA ITS LIKE RIDING ON TOP OF THE WORLD WHEN IM WITH MY SUPERBIKE BUDDIES...SITTING TALL AND PROUD ..... ...GREAT CLUB AND SITE IVE BEEN READING SOME OF THE ARCHIVE INFO

401 lbs...I've done a little more (me and the wife weigh in at 400lbs together - me more than her of course - plus luggage). Now we have 2 bikes so we don't have to overload the KLR as much. dat brooklyn bum
